Leather pictures?

[vRS Joe]

Has anyone got any pictures of leather re-trims. I'm going to order mine soon from Seat Surgeons, York. I cant decide what colour & style to go for. I'm thinking black around the edge & backs with grey in the centre, rather like the vRS cloth seats but with the black & grey the other way around would look good.

Heres a few examples from seat surgeons http://www.theseatsurgeons.com/metadot/index.pl?id=2320;isa=Category;op=show;sort_order=;filter=;dbfilter=;max_rows=20;sort_column=;start_row=20#gallery

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have heard good things about these chaps, ive even considered them myself, altho am not sure how much they charge :wonder:

These are my seats, light grey perforated leather centre (almost an off white its so light) with black surrounds. Looks nice without being too ott.

They do look nice did the white / cream inserts get dirty? denim blue stains etc....

I didn't actually do the swap, they've been like that since before I bought the car. However they look mint and have been done for about 3 years. As long as the leather has been treated properly I don't think it will be an issue.

I found anthracite was a better match to the wheel/handbrake/gearshift leather than actual black.

[Dougie S]

In fairness I suspect the leather on mine is actually not black but probably anthracite as you mention as it's not got that crisp sharpness black usually has. It's like a very very dark grey.

Thanks everyone. Its so hard to choose! I think i'm going to get them like Dougie S's. I'm Currently waiting for a sample book before I place my order!

£795 including VAT seems a pretty good deal to me!

That does seem pretty resonable, what options were on that price? colour(S) / stitch colour / piping / design etc..

[Statto]

Does that include the door cards, too? It's a good deal, whatever, given how much the leather was as an option when it was available.

[vRS Joe]

The stated price is for standard leather over all the seats and door cards.

[Statto]

Superb! I'd bite their hand off at that price. I've got an SE that already comes with leather seats, but the mesh-like material on the door cards is the one thing that lets the interior down. Now if only I could find someone that'd do the door cards in matching leather...

Hope you enjoy your seat surgeons leather when you get it.
